New Captain America: Civil War Preview Video Released

The Marvel Studios Phase Two box set will be released tomorrow, and the set features a video previewing the upcoming Phase Three of the shared cinematic universe.

Marvel has released a preview of the featurette (via Entertainment Weekly) that features the studio president Kevin Feige, Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, Captain America himself Chris Evans, and directors Joe and Anthony Russo discussing the film that launches the new phase, Captain America: Civil War

“Civil War is the right movie, in the right moment for where the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, and where these characters are,” says Anthony Russo in the video “It’s going to challenge the way you think about Tony Stark. It’s going to challenge the way you think about Steve Rogers, and when you come out “of that film, nothing will be the same.”

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Remember before Winter Soldier came out how people were so worried and hated that the Russos were directing it? This is yet another example of why I think people should wait and see before judging. That said, given their work on WS and Arrested Development and Community, this movie looks to be really good and I'm happy that if Joss wasn't going to write and direct Infinity Wars I and II, the Russos are.
